2.5. SAFETY WARNINGS ON RESIDUAL RISKS
―
The purpose of this information is to make the user aware to pay special attention in order to foresee
any risk.
―
When designing and building the machine, the manufacturer has paid particular attention to the
RESIDUAL RISKS that may affect the safety and health of the operators.
―
The residual risks are: “all the risks that persists although all safety solutions have been applied and
integrated during machine design”.
―
The manufacturer has complied with the specific standards in force and applied all the "good
manufacturing regulations".
The following list shows the residual risks that are typical of machines of this kind:
‒
Dangerous on the infeed conveyor
The conveyor bears products up to a
certain length (approximately
2 m
).
Longer products or improperly balanced,
once placed onto the conveyor, may fall
over the operator.
When these types of products require
wrapping, arranging a support that can
sustain the protruding part of the
product being processed is
recommended.
‒
Dangerous on the outfeed conveyor
The conveyor bears products up to a
certain length (approximately
2 m
).
Longer products or improperly balanced,
once placed onto the conveyor, may fall
over the operator.
When these types of products require
wrapping, arranging a support that can
sustain the protruding part of the
product being processed is
recommended.
2.6. SAFETY WARNINGS FOR REGULATIONS AND MAINTENANCE
